If kinetic energy increases does pressure decrease?

1 answer:

8 0

If molecules are in a closed container then we expect the pressure to increase as the kinetic energy increases. This is because the atoms of an element collide with the walls of the container and increase the pressure.

If we use the formula $PV=nRT$ , where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R the ideal gas constant and T is the temperature. According to the formula, P is directly proportional to temperature. An increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure.

Since we know that temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules present. It means as we increase the temperature we increase the kinetic energy of the molecules which in turn leads to an increase in the pressure.

Water vapor is not usually seen.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Water vapor is totally invisible.

Without it, there would be no clouds or rain or snow, since all of these require water vapor in order to form. All of the water vapor that evaporates from the surface of the Earth eventually returns as precipitation - rain or snow.

A 6.50x10^-5 m solution of potassium permanganate has a percent transmittance of 27.3% when measured in a 1.15 cm cell at a wave

mihalych1998 [28]

For this problem, we use the Beer Lambert's Law. Its usual equation is:

A = ∈LC
where
A is the absorbance
∈ is the molar absorptivity
L is the path length
C is the concentration of the sample solution

As you notice, we only have to find the absorbance. But since we are not given with the molar absorptivity, we will have to use the modified equation that relates % transmittance to absorbance:

A = 2 - log(%T)
A = 2 - log(27.3)
A = 0.5638
